"Flip for Your Spine"...

Professional real estate flippers can recognize the beauty and value in any dilapidated house. Take a home on the brink of falling apart, install some new hardwood floors, fix the foundation, upgrade the kitchen and bathroom fixtures and voila, you recouped your investment and much more.

Flipping spines is similar…many patients begin their care with dilapidated spines. Kyphotic cervical curves, degenerating discs and postural distortions – all compounded by inefficient electrical (nerve) system function. These are the signs of neglect that often present during an initial chiropractic inspection. Unfortunately, most spine owners don’t know the maintenance required to keep their spines in a healthy, liveable state. It isn't until a crisis ensues that they learn how far they let their property go.

Moving out of a bad spine is not an option, but flipping it back to shape is. If you have chronic spinal issues due to neglect or lack of knowledge, a master Chiropractor can help you get it back to ‘live in’ condition. With the right plan and enough time, you’ll recoup your investment and more in health benefits.

“Did You Hear…”

Here’s how it all started as told by our founder Dr. D. D. Palmer in September of 1895…

“Harvey Lillard, a janitor, in the Ryan Block, where I had my office, had been so deaf for 17 years that he could not hear the racket of a wagon on the street or the ticking of a watch. I made inquiry as to the cause of his deafness and was informed that when he was exerting himself in a cramped, stooping position, he felt something give way in his back and immediately became deaf.

An examination showed a vertebra racked from its normal position. I reasoned that if that vertebra was replaced, the man’s hearing should be restored. With this object in view, a half hour’s talk persuaded Mr. Lillard to allow me to replace it. I racked it into position by using the spinous process as a lever and soon the man could hear as before.

There was nothing ‘accidental’ about this, as it was accomplished with an object in view, and the result expected was obtained. There was nothing ‘crude’ about this adjustment, it was specific, so much so that no Chiropractor has equaled it.”

And that’s how Chiropractic was born – good thing D. D. was a great persuader!

The object of the carnival game Whack-a-Mole is to use a mallet to hit as many critters as possible when they pop up in random succession. Trouble is, as you hit one mole, three more pop up and disappear before you can nail them all. Whack-a-Mole is a perfect metaphor for how people are medicated today. Unfortunately in this game you end up on a ton of drugs, for a bunch of problems, with no actual improvement in your health.

According to a NCHS Data brief by the CDC, over the last 10 years the percentage of Americans who took at least one prescriptions drug in the past month increased from 44% to 48%. The use of two or more drugs increased from 25% to 31%. The use of five or more drugs increased from 6% to 11% Yet despite taking all these drugs, the US embarrassingly ranks  37th among the world's industrial countries when it comes to overall health.

For Chiropractors, health is not defined by how many symptoms you can temporarily 'whack away' with drugs, but how well your body can adapt to its environment and heal under its own innate abilities. You have more healing intelligence in your little finger than all the doctors and pharmacies in the world put together. Big Pharma doesn't believe so, but Chiropractors do. Keep your Nerve System clear and you won't have to play their failing game.

"Subluxations Don’t Take Vacations”

Toes in the sand, not a cloud in the sky, 75 degree water temps. Vacations are the perfect time to decompress, spend precious time with family and friends and reconnect with your soul. What could possibly stress your body?

How about ten days of sleep on a mushy mattress? Or two hours of novice water skiing/body dragging lessons. Not to mention the bottomless Mojitos and obligatory trips to the dessert buffet…and don’t forget nursing that nasty sunburn from day three.

Unfortunately, stress doesn’t take time off. The scenery may change, but your nerve system is still hard at work – reacting and adapting to those “relaxing” shifts in routine. It’s a prime opportunity to become Subluxated.

If you’ve been away from the office for a while, we hope you’re well rested. But now it’s time to get back on track and into a healthy regimen; especially getting your spine checked and cleared of Subluxations. When you need to recover from vacation – put Chiropractic on top of your itinerary.

“Healing Zone Ahead”

Construction sites are hectic – heavy equipment everywhere, orange cones marking hazardous areas, workers tearing up and laying down new asphalt. It’s a wonder anything gets done amid the chaos. But behind that chaos is intelligence…a team of well skilled architects, surveyors and foreman are carefully directing the project behind the scenes until it reaches completion.

Like construction projects, healing can appear chaotic and delayed at times. Just when it seems you’re making progress, something flairs up…an old problem returns, a new ache arises and it feels like you’re slipping backwards. But behind the chaos, a sophisticated innate intelligence is orchestrating the healing process at a level beyond human comprehension.

Healing can look ugly from the outside. But be patient – amid the chaos, organization prevails and progress is happening. Know that the best construction crew (innate incorporated) with the best set of blue prints (your Chiropractic Care Plan) is working tirelessly to get the job done.

Spark & Alignment

Can a car with bad alignment still be driven? Yes – but it will never steer to its potential. How about one running on 5 cylinders instead of 6? Yes, it too can get you from point A to point B – but it will never accelerate to its potential.

In an effort to squeeze every bit of performance out of a car, you can try using higher octane gas, putting on expensive tires and or replacing your brake pads, but if that car’s alignment and ‘spark’ are compromised, it’ll never perform to the manufacturer’s intended specs…likewise with your body.

Organic food, cross fitness exercising and Pilates training are nice additives to squeeze more performance out of your body, but you’ll never hit your potential if your spinal alignment and nerve system ‘spark’ are compromised (subluxated). To get the most out of those extra-health activities, you should be subluxation free.

“All in the Same Boat”

Every day, people around the world thank their Chiropractors for giving them their health and their Lives back. It’s common to hear patients say ‘doc, you really did a great job…’ and ‘doc, you helped me when no one else could.’ But the truth is…we can’t take all the credit for it.

While medicine gives most of the credit for healing to the physician or the drug, Chiropractors see it as a team effort with four key players – the Chiropractor who clears interference from the nerve system, the innate wisdom within the patient which orchestrates the healing, the patient who practices good lifestyle habits and the time it takes for the process to unfold.

We’re ecstatic when you see results from out service. But never forget, we’re not the only one rowing the boat. There are three other oarsmen, pulling in unison…and together, we make the perfect, healing team!

Special thanks to the "weekly sticky". 

Feeling Rusty??

Does it take a while for you to get going in the morning? Are your joints stiff and achy when you first wake up, and take a few hours to loosen? Stiff, tired joints can leave you feeling and acting much older than you are.

Motion is Life. If you let anything sit in one place too long, it’s bound to freeze up like a rusted bolt. Spinal joints, subject to long standing fixations (Vertebral Subluxations) are no different. That’s why maintenance chiropractic care is so beneficial. Adjustments unlock ‘stuck’ joints before they become painful, arthritic and frozen in place – the longer you wait between visits, the more work required to get them moving again.

Like rusted bolts, chronically fixated joints take TLC and more frequent adjustments to become free again. If you want to avoid that hassle, the smart move would be to visit your Chiropractor regularly and not let them get that bad in the first place.

Thank you "weekly sticky!"

Subluxation and Chain

You can’t sleep, your energy levels are low and you’re finding it harder to make it through your day.  Your doctor insists there’s nothing wrong but you still feel like something’s weighing you down.  Maybe it’s time to call your chiropractor. 

Chiropractors understand how daily stress can weigh down your nervous system like a ball and chain.  Repetitive physical, chemical and emotional stress can subtly cause miss-alignments in your spine called Subluxations.  The resulting pressure on your nerve system from uncorrected Subluxations can lead to symptoms of fatigue, restlessness, and mental fog.  The solution – get adjusted!  Unlocking your spine with regular Chiropractic care can restore your lost energy, vitality, and alertness. 

You don’t have to be a prisoner to stress.  If you’re feeling sluggish, weak, and bogged down from the challenges of life – Free YOUR SPINE and the rest will follow.  Break the chains of Subluxations with regular Chiropractic care and reach your potential today. 

A big Thank You to the "weekly sticky".
